Hi, I’m Chani Grieve

Mindfulness and Meditation Trainer, Embodiment Facilitator,

Neurosensory Practitioner, Mother, and Artist

I support and train people to discover for themselves the wisdom of their bodies and the power of their minds.

Develop the skills and the confidence you need to access your own inner resources, and take the reins on your growth and healing.

I offer :

  • mindfulness and meditation classes, workshops and retreats

  • individual mentoring, coaching and supervision

  • organisational well-being and workplace consulting

  • movement classes and one-to-one body work

I draw on 17 years experience as a dedicated meditation practitioner and teacher, Feldenkrais-trained neurosensory practitioner, and trauma-informed embodiment facilitator. These complementary modalities can empower you with invaluable awareness, sensitivity, strength and self-knowledge. I use tested and reliable inner and outer methods of practice and enquiry to inform your process, from both ancient and modern wellsprings of wisdom. Supported by an incredible body of knowledge and research, you will build trust in your direct experience and grow your capacity to unfold within your unique life situation.

Together, we can outline a roadmap or pathway of development to take you from wherever you are now in the direction of where, and who, you want to be. I will provide you with clear guidance, practices and resources, inspiration, and ongoing support for your journey.

I look forward to working with you.

My core values

  • Integrity

    Alignment of body, speech, and mind. Truthfulness and straightforwardness in communication. Knowing what I stand for. Being human. Being real.

  • Connection

    Daily practice to connect to the vast wellspring of peace, inspiration, and creative potential. Connecting with nature and other humans - specifically how we support each other, through inspiring community networks.

  • Heart

    Guided by the healing power of the heart. Embodying empathy, warmth, forgiveness, and acceptance. Embracing and honouring each person’s unique experience and expression. Creating space for who we are and what we are becoming.

  • Ethics

    A sense of responsibility, interconnection and interdependence. That what I do, and how I do it, matters. Embedded in the supportive network of all of life, living in a flow of giving and receiving.

  • Joy

    Being guided by what brings joy! Creating things of beauty, uplifting the space. Connecting to the natural joy of life through the each of the senses.

  • Enquiry and Exploration

    Being on a learning journey. Asking questions. Opening to new experience. Embracing complexity, doubt and paradox. Seeking wisdom in all forms, in all situations. Growing my capacity and my humanity.

  • These core values and principles are what inform and underpin all of my work and offerings.

    If these resonate with you too, then we will be a good fit! I look forward to connecting and collaborating with you soon.
